Report: Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey Not Currently Planned For WrestleMania

The WrestleMania match between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey is reportedly not in the cards for this year.

Lynch and Rousey have been on a collision course for years, but they have never faced off in a singles match. They were in the same bout at WWE WrestleMania 35; there, they faced Charlotte Flair faced off in a Triple Threat Match for both the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championship. Lynch won, and Rousey subsequently took over a year away from WWE due to her pregnancy and the birth of her child. She returned to the company at WWE Royal Rumble 2022, where she won the Women’s Royal Rumble. Rousey briefly teased choosing to face Lynch at WrestleMania 38, but she ultimately picked Charlotte Flair. Since then. Rousey and Lynch have gone their separate ways.

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that the long-assumed clash between Rousey and Lynch was not currently planned for WrestleMania 39. While things change, Meltzer stated that he was told the match was “very unlikely”, with another source saying that the bout seemed “dead”, at least for now.

Per Steven Muehlhausen of DAZN, people close to Lynch believe that the Rousey match has “lost its luster” and think it should have happened at WrestleMania 35.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select confirmed the report and cited a top talent who still expects Rousey to have a big match at WrestleMania. Sapp also cited othet talent, who noted that “most involved” thought the WrestleMania match should have been a singles bout. Another source indicated that Lynch “did not seem bothered” by the idea that the match wouldn’t be happening.

As of this writing, it’s unclear what the plan is for either Rousey or Lynch.
